I have an application I'm thinking about and wanted to see if someone had an idea.
I have a bank of 15 lights, of which only one will be on at any one time. I don't want to use up 15 outputs.
What else could I use?

Unless yo ucan change the wiring on your circuit, nothing.
If you have 15 +/- feeds to 15 bulbsm you need 15 outputs.

If yo uencode it in binary, u could get away with 4, if u changed the wiring also

(4 bits = decimal 15 )

I figure for the trouble and ease of troubleshooting to got with 15 outputs. The cost far outways the amount of needlessly wasted time.
Thanks for your input.
